4. The portable electronic device port cover of claim 3 , further comprising a second adhesive layer between the second elastic band and the third elastic band.
5. The portable electronic device port cover of claim 4 , wherein the adhesive layer between the second elastic band and the third elastic band is not aligned with the adhesive layer between the first elastic band and the second elastic band.
6. The portable electronic device port cover of claim 4 , wherein the second adhesive layer between the second elastic band and the third elastic band is aligned with the adhesive layer between the first elastic band and the second elastic band.
7. The portable electronic device port cover of claim 2 , further comprising a fastener, to attach the first elastic band and the second elastic band to the portable electronic device.
8. The portable electronic device port cover of claim 2 , wherein the elastic band comprises a loop.
9. The portable electronic device port cover of claim 2 , wherein the marking is to indicate one of a shape or a type of the port on the portable electronic device.
10. The portable electronic device port cover of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the first elastic band and the second elastic band have a tapered side to move aside the first elastic band or the second elastic band as the connector is inserted.
